Excellent Choice (5/5) | Aug 8, 2008 | Anonymous | |
| I'm a police officer in a large Missouri city, and was searching for a good reliable/compact/light weight/powerful back-up pistol. After researching pistols on the internet, and talking with people much more knowledgable than myself, including our department armorer, I chose the Kimber Ultra Carry II, in blue, with wooded grips, and 3-dot fixed night sights. I've put approximately 250 rounds of ball ammo thru it, with no jams or malfunctions thus far. For a small pistol, it's amazingly accurate at 20-25 yards. Statistically, most shootings occur within 10-15 feet of one's target. So this pistol fits the bill. | ||||

Excellent Weapon (5/5) | Jan 21, 2010 | Ms Blankenship | Monroe NC US |

I am a female who uses my Ultra Carry for personal protection. No better weapon on the market however, it is not for an inexperienced shooter. Small and compact it is as accurate a weapon as I have ever used. I ran my 500 break in rounds with no difficulty. My son had never fired a handgun before and at 25 yards his first 3 rounds were headshots. I am more than pleased with this gun and trust my life to my Kimber. To anyone who is talking about the 15 yard range and self defense, at 15 yards it's not self defense in this state unless they are shooting at you. I have never seen a bedroom that was 45 feet long that one might need to shoot someone in for self defense. However, for personal protection in a home environment, its deadly accurate. |

Fine weapon (4/5) | Apr 2, 2010 | Larry Matthias | Spokane Wa US |
| Experienced a few FTL because of the slide stop engaging after 3 - 4 rounds fired. It appears that the Remington green box 230g round nose ammo is moving forward slightly in the mag after firing, inadvertently engaging the stop. I'm replacing the slide stop with a new one being sent from Kimber. Accuracy is excellent. It held its own against my Ed Brown Special Forces full sized 1911. I've given the weapon a rating of "4" until I see if the FTL situation is fixed. A CC weapon MUST fire every time! | ||||

Good small carry gun (3/5) | Jul 8, 2006 | Anonymous | |
|
Traded a Mossberg 590 for a slightly used Kimber Ultra Carry II w/night sights. Put 350 rounds downrange, Remington Golden Sabers. Shot at 25 yds, 15 yds, & 7 yds. 50 rounds per cycle, going from 25-7yds. (FBI qualification course) Usually hit paper about 40 times. Maybe 25 rounds on target w/ 4-5 in the black. Gun can shoot straight but it is a bit of a handfull. Approximately 10-15 minor malfunctions all due to the horrible magazines Kimber provides. They are trash, throw them out immediatly. Overall tight small package. Short range use, inside 15yds. |

great (5/5) | May 16, 2008 | Dick Diamondstone | Turtle creek Pa US |
| I'm a former Army shooter,with a lot of experience shooting all kinds of pistols, target and otherwise. This is a phenomenal gun. I shoot 50% at 21 feet, 1 & 2-handeed and 50% at 25 yards, all 2-handed. I use reloads that I cut the brass to length for a perfect fit, and I do not have jams at all. The gun needs cleaned when you're done shooting, but as a former Army shooter, that's the habit I'm in. My groups are under 1" at 21 feet, and at 25 yards I regularly shoot all 28 shots (4 clips) 8 ring or better on a standard 25 yard match target. I only mention all this because I get tired of hearing people at the range say their gun (any gun) isn't accurate. Get a few shooting lessons, guys...it ain't the gun! | ||||

Great Accuracy (5/5) | Oct 24, 2010 | Mr. John | Eureka CA US |
| I was surprised at the 25 yd. accuracy. seven round groups of 6" with 230 grain round nose reloads. no jams, smooth cycling. Cleaned and lubricated before before 1st and after each shooting session. Tight grip helps. | ||||

Great compact 1911 (5/5) | Sep 20, 2013 | Lt4545 | Albuquerque Ne US |
| This is one great 1911 for someone looking for a pistol of this type! I looked mine over and found thr fit and finish consistently excellent. Then time to load up and shoot it. Now here I was very pleasantly surprised 2 mags full of magtech 230gr. Hardball was extremely smooth right thru it with no ftes or ftfs Plus the two best surprises of all. The excellent trigger! It's very smooth ,no creep no grittiness at all , and felt just about perfect a @4.5lbs. Then the second and most noticeable plus going for this pistol. I found that it was surprisingly very easy to control and handle for a 1911this small and light .at least for me I thought felt recoil was quite easy to my hand or hardball.i plan on replacing the kimber mnfg. Magazines with the correct Wilson combat 47 ds.i find its easy to carry at 25 ozs empty. I love this little 45. Being my first kimber I am so happy with this ultra carry that I've ordered and rec'd a full size custom11 and fit it ith Wilson combat mags as well. I feel that for an affordable 1911 of great quality,made in America kimber is the gold standard! No I don't work for kimber! Or did I get any special price. I had to wait months to find a store with one in stock forveach purchase plus I paid the going retail price both times.albeit the lowest I could find either locally or on the web. I recommend kimbers to friends and family with confidence.just found some reasonably priced range ammo and can't wait to get my new 1911(kimber) to the range! | ||||

Great gun (5/5) | Dec 30, 2008 | Anonymous | |
| This is the first Kimber I have owned. I could not believe how great this gun is. I shot 100 rounds through the gun today. I can't believe the accuracy of a gun this short. I was also impressed with how little the gun kicks. This was quite surprising. Great trigger as well. | ||||
